Suggested Improvement
Limit statements to topics covered by the FDA-approved label excerpts (e.g., indications, dosing, contraindications, warnings/precautions, adverse reactions, and FDA-described interactions) and remove or qualify off-label/unsupported pricing and patent tracking assertions unless the provided label text explicitly supports them.
